Travel

  • Penticton Airport (YYF) is a ten minute taxi ride from the conference venue. There are limited flights to Vancouver and Calgary from Penticton; it is by far the most convenient airport for travel to CASCA.
  • Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is a 75 minute drive from the conference venue. There are frequent flights to Vancouver and Calgary on all the Canadian airlines and limited flights to elsewhere in Canada. Taxis are readily available at the airport but will cost somewhat over $200 plus gratuity. Airport shuttles can also be arranged in advance from Top Cat Tours or Cheers! Okanagan Tours.
  • Vancouver is a 4 to 5 hour drive from Penticton. Ebus provides bus service from Vancouver to West Kelowna.
    • The BC Transit 70 bus runs four times per weekday, weekdays only, between Kelowna/West Kelowna and Penticton. Fare is $5, cash only.
